Well anywhere UPTO 10 grand. What scooby would you lot go for. And remember, 10 G is the maximum, doesnt mean I want to spend it all. I would prefer some change

Nice 1 owner standard UK Impreza of the MY99 or MY00 vintage - with a Max. of 65,000miles and FSH ..... that should set you back £6750 for a minter.

AND you get the BEST Impreza sold in th UK ......

Ha Ha Ha!! Sorry you mis-understand .... my car is not for sale - you asked what was the best way to spend your money, that was my answer.

The Classic is the best and fastest, and from the Classic years the 1999 and 2000 were the pick of the bunch.

I prefer a Wagon for the stealth aspect .... BIG wings and stuff are sooooo, soooo 1990's!! AND ChavTastic!

Best bet (IMHO) would be to search on Auto Trader for Subaru Impreza's with a max of £10k and have a look whats on offer.

Newage might be just about in reach but perhaps better to go for a classic Sti or nice Type R if theres any available for that price.

A brand new EU import on a PCP and it will leave money in your pocket

Yeah, OK, the RB5 is actually my all time favourite and I would recommend that ............. if only it came in a Wagon!!

Stay well away from the slow, ugly new generations from MY01 on
